Which turntables?


I'm in the process of getting ready to play my vinyl again. I have three nice turntables but only want to keep one or two. Which one(s) should I keep?

Yamaha PX-3
Denon DP-59L
Sony PS-8750

Your thoughts are appreciated.

I'm no expert but I have a Denon DP 62L ... seems like a great table and I picked it up for a song but I matched it up with a Sumiko Blackbird. The VTA adjustment on the Denon can’t quite come up enough to work well with the Blackbird. The body of the Blackbird rides really low and I'm thinking I might need to make a switch. I had my local turntable expert double check - the VTA is at max and I even switched to a thinner mat in hopes it would be enough. It's really tight ... I should have done more research.

I really enjoy the sound but I feel another financial beating coming on. Just a word of advice ... if you choose the Denon, pick your cartridge carefully. I'm not sure how similar the tonearms are between the 62L and the 59L but they look very similar.
